be carried out in the following sequence.
1. Adjusting the lower leg length and seat depth, see chapter 9.1.
2. Adjusting the seat height and seat tilt, see chapter 9.2 and chapter 9.3.
3. Adjusting the center of gravity of the seat frame, see chapter 9.4.
4. Checking that the swivel castors can move freely.
5. Repetition of steps 3 to 4, if necessary.
